With nothing happening in the NFL until training camps open in the end of July, Travis Kelce used his offseason to make a memorable cameo appearance onstage with Taylor Swift during a recent stop on the Eras Tour in London.

On the latest episode of Wave Sports + Entertainment's New Heights Podcast (starts at 51:00 mark), Kelce called it "an absolute blast" to share the stage with Swift and the dance crew.

The appearance occurred on the final night of Swift's three-night stop at Wembley Stadium on June 23.

Kelce explained he initially talked to Swift about being one of the bike-riders during the performance of "Blank Space" before they landed on the idea of him taking part in the outfit change during the "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" segment.

"When everyone found out that it was me—because it took a second for everyone to figure it out—that moment was pretty jarring. I was just like, 'Oh s--t,'" he said. "And you don't realize how big that damn stage is. It is easily as big as a football stadium …it's way bigger than I could have ever imagined."

Kelce has been a frequent guest at the tour dating back to last year, but this was the first time he was featured onstage. He surprised Swift last weekend in Dublin when she was performing at Aviva Stadium after he was at a wedding in California.

Swift is continuing the Eras Tour through the rest of the year, with the final shows scheduled to take place from Dec. 6-8 at BC Place in Vancouver.

The Chiefs will open training camp on July 18 when rookies are required to report, followed by veterans on June 22. Kelce, who is entering his 11th season, will look to help the team win the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year.
